Rancho RS5000X 4″ Lift Shocks for 1988-1999 GMC K1500 4WD

Part Number: RS55244

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a versatile ride for your GMC K1500. Designed specifically for vehicles equipped with a 4-inch lift, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks manage the increased unsprung weight of larger tires with ease. This setup delivers a smooth, controlled street ride while maintaining the rugged durability required for off-road excursions.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive rebound and compression disc system provides a precise balance of comfort and control to ensure stability during high-speed maneuvers.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced aeration and shock fade.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: An included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the rod and seal to ensure protection against rocks, mud, and debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC K1500?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-configured to work with a vehicle that has already been equipped with a 4-inch suspension lift kit.

What is the benefit of the Twin-Tube design on this model?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner working cylinder remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.

Are boots included with the RS5000X series?
Yes, these shocks include Rancho’s signature red protective boots to keep the piston rod clean and extend the life of the internal seals.
